“Gov. Walz deciding to retire is an important moment for Minnesota. People across the state want their government back on solid ground. They want honesty, competence, and a sense that someone is minding the store.
“We have been through a long period of serious mismanagement and repeated failures that shook public trust. It is not acceptable. Minnesotans deserve a government that is focused on doing its job well, spending tax dollars carefully, and earning confidence back one decision at a time.
“Moving forward, this is an opportunity to reset the tone at the capitol. We need more balance, more cooperation, and more of a willingness to work across party lines to fix what is broken. Minnesota is at its best when leaders put the public first and work together to get things back on track.”
